What Is Allergic Rhinitis?

Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, is an allergic reaction that affects the nose and sinuses. It occurs when the immune system reacts to airborne allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mold, or animal dander.
Symptoms may include:

  • Sneezing

  • Nasal congestion

  • Itching of the nose or throat

  • Post-nasal drip

  • Sinus pressure

Symptoms may occur seasonally or persist year-round depending on triggers.

Common Allergy Triggers

Triggers vary by patient but often include:

  • Tree, grass, and weed pollen

  • Dust mites

  • Mold spores

  • Pet dander

  • Environmental irritants

Identifying your specific triggers is key to effective treatment.
